I think I get it - ESPN's clock is more "It is X days until a minimum of Y dollars per minute in advertising revenue is generated by the subset of college football that we will be airing". That sounds more like the sort of clock they would use anyway.

There is definitely a hierarchy when it comes to my college football game consumption, but much of that goes out the window when the pickings are slim.

 

The hierarchy goes like this:

Any live/DVR'd Michigan game in which the outcome isn't known by me.  Try to interrupt me when I'm watching & I will rip out your lungs and grill them for a halftime snack.

]

]

]

]

]

Any live game with a key matchup of national powers OR upset possibility in the 4th quarter.  Try to interrupt me when I'm watching & I'll be visibly irritated.

]

Live generic Power 5 matchups.  Try to interrupt me and I won't care.

]

Replays of Michigan games of yore

 

 

But things change when coming off an 8 month dry spell.  I distinctly remember watching Hawaii vs. Cal at like 1am last year, simply because I was football starved & Hawaii was going to be our next opponent.  It's like the Tier 3 game suddenly rocketed into the #1 position.

That is absolutely correct. I don't take it personally, but feel it is just disrespecting the ten teams that are playing on August 26th. ESPN commercials keep saying, "FOOTBALL IS BACK IN TWELVE DAYS" (this was yesterday) but it's actually back in four days as of today.

Semantics, but Kovacs changed numbers from 32 to 11 to honor the Dave Brandon "you're a Senior so change your number to a retired number and piss off your fan base" era. 

Also, if you're going or honor the 11th day with #11 Kovacs, you have to at least mention the Wistert Brothers, who are being honored with the legends patches.

Just passing along some info from Sam Webb's inside the sub from yesterday-  John Runyan is now running with the ones and DPJ is impressing the most right now of all the receivers.
